Red-Crested Pochard
I've been getting some low angle shooting practice in these last few days, after picking up a WWS beanbag to use with the 600. Thought I'd get used to using it before Mull in a months time! Might be too large in the frame for some but this has had about %20 cropped from the original so it's not a problem.

D300 & 600mm

Looking good Richard - nice light and the colour of the water works well.

Not too tight for me, like it, like the low POV.

Superb shot! I don't know the bird but I wonder if you could go a bit darker?

Looks good to me... the 'grey' surroundings set the bird of very nicely.
